The good: *Most of the fruit & veggies are pretty fresh. *Eggs are pretty fresh. *Have 2 frozen sections-one with seafood near produce; the other larger one with frozen meals, fruits and ice creams. *good breads & pastry area * regular isles have a good variety *deli area has good fried chicken and hot meals Check out is fast and all the workers are friendly. Lots of other stores nearby.

When we're in Ensenada and we can't make it all the way to Walmart, we come here. The prices are…read morevery competitive, but the quality is spotty. The groceries and meats and anything refrigerated is okay, but the produce is questionable. The watermelons were really cheap, and we soon found out why: it was spoiled rotten. The onions and citrus fruits were okay, as were the bananas, so maybe the watermelons were a fluke. At any rate, it was concerning. Maybe we're used to American ways of keeping food, but the flats of eggs were also not refrigerated. But my in-laws, who get fresh eggs locally in ELA, don't refrigerate their eggs right away also... must be an OG thing... However, for low prices and quick checkout for basic staples, this place is convenient. Just be sure to check your food, carefully...

Do you like tostilocos? Do you like fruit? Do you like it spicy? If you do, then you will…read moreabsolutely love this place. One of the coolest places I have been to in quite some time. A simple concept where you can mix in 48 (I counted) different chips, fruit and candy into a cup, have them mixed together and create an awesome spicy and salty snack. A sample of what you can put in a cup? Tostitos, chips, flaming hot Cheetos, churritos, Japanese peanuts, spicy peanuts, raw peanuts, mango, watermelon, pineapple, spicy apples, cucumbers, candy, gummy worms/bears and saladitos. There are another 30 or so items that I am missing from this list, but you get the idea. After you choose you mix ins, they will then mix it all together with chamoy, chili, clamato and lime so everything gets evenly covered. You can also choose to not get any of the chili or chamoy at the end if you aren't into that. But then you are just missing out on what makes it so tasty. I got one full of mango, pineapple, apple and all the peanuts mixed in, and it was amazing. All my favorites in one spicy jumbled sweet mess of of saltiness. It was truly a first for me, and enjoyed it until the very last bite. I did pay with my Chase credit card, which worked out great. I was charged in pesos, but the charge appeared on my statement already converted to dollars without any foreign exchange fees. This is done at the current exchange rate, so you get an extra 10% more for your money. Most cards charge foreign exchange fees, so be sure you are using the right card before you start to swipe the plastic at every establishment. Very inexpensive, starting at 35$ pesos ($2.50) for the small cup, which is surprisingly filling. A great concept, and a must try if you happen to be in town.

If you're craving fruit with chile, look no further. My wife called it a fruit michelada and she's…read moreright. If you've read my other reviews, I try a michelada at every restaurant I go to. This place mixes fruit and spices just right to give you that sweet, tangy and spicy juxtaposition that defies description. You've got to try this place to know what I'm talking about. ¡Muy delicioso!

I just got to come here once with a friend recently and am so excited about the meat. It's an…read moreamazing butcher shop. They have are so many cuts of meat, marinated meat and sausages to chose. You get great meat at a great price. Parking is only on the street and so few spots that we park at La Soriana grocery store across the street on Reforma. They also have a variety of products that are harder to find and more gourmet items as well. Lots of things to help you plan your meals. The meat case is beautiful with all the different meats. You pick your favorite or best marbling and they will cut any thickness of steak. The steaks are not aged like in the US so are not as tender but also probably have no hormones either. The sausages are ok with different ones to try. I recommend San Nicolás - Carnicería Butcher Shop. Can't wait to come back again to try more things!

Captain Cortez is a reliable, and safe bet for all of your Seafood tastes. Everything is always…read morefresh, on piles of fresh ice all day, is deboned of scales perfectly, and cooks to a tender and flavor rich consistency, never mushy or too fishy. The welcoming and clean store also features specialty items from Southeast Asia that are challenging to find elsewhere, such as fresh lemongrass, Miso, Asian pasta, fish sauce, red, green, yellow curries, tofu, and fresh vegetables and extensive choice of spices, oils, (malt, rice) vinegars, etc. OMG, I almost forgot all of the home made fresh fish dressings and dips prepared by the owner. My favorite is her tartar sauce (the best) coupled by their Capeadora deep fried Curvino, Mero or Blanco. What a feast and treat. For some reason the fish I buy here always tastes so much better than any purchased from The Black Fish Market. Captain Cortez es una apuesta confiable y segura para todos sus gustos de mariscos. Todo está siempre fresco, sobre montones de hielo fresco todo el día, se deshilacha perfectamente de las escamas y se cocina con una consistencia tierna y rica en sabor, nunca blanda o demasiado sospechosa. La tienda acogedora y limpia también presenta artículos especiales del sudeste asiático que son difíciles de encontrar en otros lugares, como limoncillo fresco, miso, pasta asiática, salsa de pescado, curry rojo, verde, amarillo, tofu y verduras frescas y una amplia variedad de especias, aceites, vinagres (malta, arroz), etc. Dios mío, casi me olvido de todos los aderezos y salsas de pescado fresco hechos en casa preparados por el propietario. Mi favorita es su salsa tártara (la mejor) junto con su Capeadora frita Curvino, Mero o Blanco. Qué fiesta y trato. Por alguna razón, el pescado que compro aquí siempre sabe mucho mejor que cualquiera comprado en The Black Fish Market.

It's harder with only two of us but we manage to get some items that work or share the huge amounts like the salads with others. It's great when we come to Mexico to find most of our regular Costco items that we find in the states! It is interesting to also find other local products that are fun to try. The staff are very nice and so patient when I speak Spanish. And many of them speak English too which can be helpful when looking for an unusual item! The woman working in the Optical department was especially helpful! Also, the food is always good! We usually have a snack after shopping. The pizza is good and the lasagna looks amazing. I haven't seen lasagna in any other Costco. I will definitely try the lasagna and hubs wants to try the pulled pork. We will definitely be back!

What a great market! As close to a mini Whole Foods as one can get! The produce is beautiful and…read morefresh, and there's a very wide variety of fruit and veg to select from. There are plenty American products to select from that are organic. (Not that I'm only wanting American products) I rarely buy American groceries here, as I prefer to shop the perimeter, but it's always nice to have the option. Their pricing for produce is extremely reasonable, and this is where they beat Whole Foods. The staff are all so incredibly helpful, warm and welcoming. Needless to say, their service is outstanding. We found it recently, while on a search for organic kefir, (they even had the brand I like!!) and instantly won me over! We've become regular shoppers there, even though we live an hour away!

The produce section appears organic and is so fresh, all inclusive, and super inexpensive. When you enter the store the small specialty bread offered is in front of the produce area. Yes, this is a best kept secret: my first taste of real artisan baked select and delivered daily, sourdough rounds, walnut, whole wheet, all seed, dark russian rye, garlic w gruyere, rosemary, french rolls, baguette's artisan baked and dense like home in San Francisco, CA. There are exquisite cheese's, organic yogurt, good pasta, dairy, hummus, juices from Cali, bulk dry foods, kitchen wares, specialty flavor's and curry style paste and spice's, tea, chocolates, coffee, cooking oils, from Southeast Asia. The friendly, helpful butcher's are in the back area ( English ok) and is impressively stocked with most everything and the quality is a cut above the rest. This is a smaller mercado and not to be compared to its sister market "Maria LUIS" in Maneadero. I love how this market is not huge and impersonal. Clearly it is managed by a team who understands the importance of great customer service, stocking their shelves selectively and cohesively, conve ience and organization, cleanliness, and how to market their goods etc.... I have made a special trip here just for the bread, produce, or meat on occasion.
